Is all this following in a circle, by any chance?

Mine too. Hard as a cats head.

Yeah definitely. My point was the BS rumour they'd broken up.

Lily Johnson, and I'd even heard a rumour they'd broken up - before he was there tonight in a Dees scarf cheering her on. There is so much BS going on this off season, it's gone to a new level. I wouldn't be surprised if Judd stayed with us. Got some info on Trac today, and I won't be letting that go until the trade is done, sorry, but things are certainly not what they seem.

Slight exaggeration there, but yes, a lot of Irish, where there are links to Aussie Rules. Not a lot from a rugby union background though

Is the Kiwi girl the new Mason Cox? Sure, she's a brute, but the tackle she put on was 100% in the back. Just because she's foreign doesn't mean the rules don't apply. Is this the only way the AFL knows to develop the game abroad?

You would've thought the AFL had some learnings (sorry, just had to) around head knocks, but it appears as if they really couldn't care less.

That might work, until it's revealed we'll pay someone else 700k a year to take him. That's some serious exploration going on.

Anyone else concerned that we were told we wouldn't need a full rebuild and we'd be expecting a bounce next year - only to be delivered a cleanout? I'm not surprised one bit, I tipped this. The (ex-Geelong) new coach will come in and force Clarry to the Cats for a 2nd rounder. None of this is what we've been sold.

I wonder what Mitch Clark is up to these days

I hear their latest trade target is Ben Hur

I don't think I could cope if we had Xavier Lindsay, Xavier Taylor, and Josh Lindsay

+1

Well the Lions have access to a genuine academy, so that's the big issue there. It's a massive advantage these days, I mean it's not like Australian Rules football is a new thing in QLD (Not even thinking about NSW....) But regarding free agents, why not add something into the compo formula based on position on the ladder of both teams? Or the other option is a team that takes a free agent gives up draft points. It's clearly a rort at the moment for the big sides, but the biggest question of all is - does the AFL even care if the big sides rape and pillage the rest?????

God help us all if Dannyz mail is wrong. What a bizarre set of circumstances

Looks like autopen for mine

I only noticed when they were all standing around waitign for the ball and the clock was still running. If it was 40 seconds we really need to be demanding answers

The 6 seconds where the locals refused to give the ball back might've been handy

How's that not holding the ball

I guess that's the advantage of actually having a coach

Only if it's on the full?

100%

This is bang on the money. I'm sick and tired of all the BS niggle that's crept into the game. With the AFL going public saying the first free to Rayner was wrong they've condoned elbows in the back 200 metres off the ball. It isn't part of the game, and isn't what I want to see when I watch. I want to see quality players - playing football. Some players are taking every opportunity when the whistle goes to sneak in a push in the back. Daicos even goes for a headlock when he's tackled legitimately. This needs to be stopped, but it seems the umpires have lost control, and now the AFL is ok with it.

Welcome to Frankston

Has anyone checked Blake Howes pass card for the gym? Think it might be busted
